Many people are unaware that meditation, either with a MindSpa Meditation Machine or with more traditional methods, can be an effective way of relieving pain.

Although meditation for pain relief has been being used for hundreds of years, it is only recently that it has become highly recognized as a great way to relieve various kinds of pain. Recent studies have proven that meditation for pain relief is a very powerful way to help relieve pain without the many side effects that are found in other methods such as drugs. Meditation for pain relief teaches the body to relax and to focus on things other than the present pain.

The University of Manchester has conducted a study that demonstrates that people who meditate experience lower sensitivity to pain than people who do not meditate. This lower pain sensitivity occurs both during meditation and when the meditators are not meditating.

The study was headed by Dr Chrisopher Brown who would like to see more research into meditation carried out.He says that it seems that meditators anticipate pain less and find pain less unpleasant, but it's not known why meditation has this effect.

A big benefit of using meditation for help in relieving pain is that it can help people reduce their intake of potentially harmful drugs. Many drugs can have dangerous side-effects and can cause long-tern health damage. Some pain relief drugs can even be addictive.

Meditation for pain relief also has the benefit of relieving the various responses that the body has to pain. When pain occurs in the body, the body usually responds with adrenaline and the fight or flight reflex. When you learn to use meditation to relax, the body can help manage these responses and, in turn, help to alleviate the pain.

Meditation works to focus the mind on places and feelings other than what you are feeling at the current moment and this also works to help lessen pain . The feelings of pain are more than physical, they are both emotional and mental. Meditation for pain relief works by taking the mind and focusing it on something other than the of pain within the body. This helps to diminish the perception of pain that is being felt.

Many people who suffer from pain have to deal with anxiety and elevated blood pressure as a result of the pain they are suffering. Often, the anxiety can actually increase the pain that they are feeling. Meditation helps to reduce the levels of anxiety and can help to bring down blood pressure as well.

Using a MindSpa Meditation Machine or a more traditional meditation method can be a great help in relieving pain. It's worth giving it a go. And as a bonus, it will bring many other benefits and guide you to a happier, healthier life.
